Score 93/100 · James Suckling, Nov 2021
A pretty nose of mulberries, blueberries, grilled herbs, dark chocolate, cedar, walnuts and dried spices. Full body with chewy tannins. Structured with crisp acidity and a firm, long finish. Drink from 2023.

Leading off the four Cabernet releases, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has an up-front, delicious, medium-bodied style offering classic Napa Cabernet notes of ripe darker fruits, tobacco, spicy oak, and chocolate. It's ready to go, yet the balance is spot on, and it's going to keep for 10-12 years or so. It's a good value.
